Ya think??
And they didn't even have one assembled for people to look at
Tiffany -- yes, 3 more posts, to say nothing of the potential for hanging baskets on the sides... hmmmm
Chelle -- I'm really debating as to how exactly to site this thing; we get so much heaving of our ground in the winter it's ridiculous... when I was first thinking about this project I saw a plan for a scratch-built arbor that recommended holding it down by pounding metal fence posts in by each wooden post and bolting the arbor posts to the fence posts. Regardless, I think giving the plant time to form a strong trunk is a great idea -- I can only hope it will be so vigorous as to requiring pruning to do that!!
